Review Summary

La Bêtise welcomes guests with a warm, cozy atmosphere that many reviews describe as inviting and vibrant. The food gets frequent praise, from fresh oysters and tapas-style bites to well-executed mains and standout seafood. Service is consistently noted as friendly, attentive, and helpful, with a good wine and cocktail selection to complement the meals. Some comments mention a higher price point or occasional slower service, but portions and overall quality are repeatedly highlighted as strong points. The venue's charm, whether on the terrace or inside, makes it a popular spot for gatherings or a romantic evening, and visitors often say they would return.

Had dinner here. When I entered & saw the interior, compared to the photos on the website, I did feel a little catfished. Opted for patio.

Server was nice but seemed to disappear for long periods of time. & when it came time to get our bill & pay we had to go looking for her.

Cocktails were alright.

The General Tso's Chicken poutine wasn't very good, with a flavourless sauce/gravy, poorly cooked fries, & the batter of the chicken carried flavours from the deep-frier including fish.

The salmon tartare was OK, but serving it in a martini glass seemed so comically cliché & dated I wondered if it was supposed to be ironic.

In the end, not worth going back when there are so many other better restaurants in the area.

La nourriture est vraiment excellente, nous avons pris comme entrée des bouchées bouche-bée au crabe qui étaient succulentes & comme repas principal, nous avons pris le bifteck de côte à partager & honnêtement, je l'aurais pris pour moi seul.
La serveuse était très compétente & très attentionnée.
Je recommande ce restaurant sans hésiter & nous y retournerons bientôt !

What a gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a cozy atmosphere & friendly smiles. The appetizers were fresh & flavorful, the main courses were perfectly cooked, & the desserts were the perfect ending to our meal. Service was attentive without being overwhelming. A true five-star experience

Visited Montreal for the weekend. Best experience overall compared to all other restaurants in Montreal. Highly recommend for all those visiting with little knowledge of the area. Comfortable atmosphere & friendly staff.

1$ oysters & great service

We went to this restaurant yesterday & while the food was absolutely delicious, the overall experience was disappointing due to the service.

The biggest issue was the timing - all the plates came out 30 minutes apart, so we couldn't really eat together. We also had to wait over 40 minutes just for a side of fries, which is kind of ridiculous. To make things worse, the waiters messed up our order, & it took even longer to sort things out.

The portions were pretty small, especially for the price, but again, the taste was definitely there - everything we did get was flavorful & well-prepared.

Overall, great food, but the poor service & disorganization really took away from the experience.

Une attente interminable alors qu'il n'y avait pas grand monde dans le restaurant, personne n'a mangé en même temps. C'est dommage car la nourriture etait bonne...

La nourriture est bonne, le menu pourrait être plus varié, peu de choix pour les personnes qui n'aiment pas les fruits de mer. Les frites sont à déguster absolument, un vrai régal ! Le tartare de saumon est bien, trop de sauce, mais les saveurs sont appréciables. Les dumplings au veau sont bons. La présentation est belle. La terrasse est accueillante. Malheureusement, le service est à améliorer. Erreurs par-dessus erreurs, le service doit être fait d'une façon professionnelle & ce n'était pas le cas. La chasse de la toilette était brisée & inaccessible. Les tables étaient collantes, on se sentait en nouvelle Orléans, tout manquait de soins. Nous avons décidé de donner une 2e chance & aucun regret, vous êtes passé de 3 étoiles à 5 étoiles. Notre serveur était aux petits soins avec nous. WoW ! La nourriture était meilleure, encore trop de sauce dans le tartare & le tataki de thon, mais le chou-fleur est le meilleur que j'ai mangé à Montréal. Les dumplings à l'agneau sont très bien, les bouchées de crabe superbe & le carré d'agneau parfaitement cuit. Une belle expérience, nous allons revenir assurément.

Cute ambiance. They have a oyster 1$ happy hour, the oysters were very good. Also ordered cauliflower it was ok but not wow. The menu is a bit all over the place for food genre. Would go back for oysters but not regular menu.

Petit resto avec du potentiel. Menu intéressant, plats bien présentés & savoureux. Pour ce qui est du service, le'busboy' était plus attentionné que la serveuse. Aucun suivi de la serveuse suite a la reception de nos plats, nos consommations sont restées au comptoir 10 minutes avant que le busboy nous les amene par lui-meme pour ne pas dire l'attente concernant l'addition. Je donnerai une 2e chance en espérant une changement sur le planche

Avec mon amie, nous avons commandé 4 plats à partager, dont la pieuvre ( seulement deux petites tentacules à 34$) qui étaient calcinées. Les prix sont exorbitants pour la quantité dans l'assiette. L'endroit est extrêmement bruyant, car c'est exigus & les tables rapprochés. Nonobstant, le service a été impeccable & on y joue de la bonne musique des années 80.
Je n'y retournerai pas, mais si vous avez un paquet fric à flamber pour un endroit étourdissant, sans attente sur ce que vous recevrez dans votre assiette (svp, manger avant d'y aller), mais avec un personnel aimable, c'est votre endroit!
